Abstract

India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing start-up ecosystems globally. The transformation from a traditional business economy to a dynamic innovation-driven ecosystem has been largely supported by proactive government policies. This paper analyzes the evolution of India’s start-up ecosystem and critically examines the role of government initiatives such as Startup India, Atal Innovation Mission, Make in India, and Digital India. The study highlights policy impacts on funding, regulatory reforms, innovation infrastructure, and entrepreneurial culture. It also discusses challenges and provides recommendations to strengthen the ecosystem further.
